Bleed vs. Myspace March 1st, 2011

This winter we got a great brief from Myspace: “Lead the rebranding efforts for Myspace. We have a new logo and entirely new site and are ready to design out the rest of our identity system”.

The revitalized brand is fresh and designed as a vessel that leverages Myspace brand equity and core culture allowing it to mature into a satisfying and engaging social entertainment entity. We communicate Myspace as the place where everyone can be whoever they want to be.

Giving the brand experience room to grow we use subtle typography and combine the logo with different corporate illustrations. The simple material and 3 way separation is the base. The visuals can be random from users of Myspace or generated by professionals.

Watch out for soon to come portfolio update with more images!

Fjords, Blondes & Vikings September 7th, 2010

What does one associate with Norway? Norway has more to offer than the usual stereotypes we`ve decided to show this in a innovative, creative but yet humorous way for Yournorway.de and Norwegian Embassy in Berlin, by taking the clichés and breaking them.

This is the first edition in a series of 3. Read more and download here.
